Why We do What We Do

Originally published July 22, 2008

I have made no secret about what my wife and I do for a living in this blog (see the links).  Our website, www.distinctive-decor, has been quite a success for us.  We sell gourmet kitchen products, fine china, fine tea ware, bar ware, coffee ware, collectibles and a number of other items. Our goal is to sell the highest quality merchandise and offer it to our customers at a fair price with great customer service.


It has become quite normal, with our store's web presence, to do business with some really neat people working on cool projects [at least, I think so].  We have sold items as props for the movie industry, carafes for green rooms in New York and LA and helped outfit some chic restaurants.  We have worked with casinos, clothiers, coffee houses, tea rooms and a host of other industries.


This past week we worked with the staff at a very well known cooking show.  This was a kick for me because I have watched this guy on TV since he started on the network.  They were interested in Tutto Mio, a line of fine Italian dishes and serving pieces.  We were able to get the deal and they were a pleasure to work with, too.


While last week was gratifying it is not as significant or as gratifying as all the feedback we receive from our repeat and first-time customers.
